Murray,
Contact Mike at Special Projects
Fax 206-630-2506
They are in Kent, Washington and are great transporters. If coming your
way they can be very reasonable. If not they may be a little high. I
used them twice while I lived in So. Calif.
Say hello to Owen Grigg from me!

Subject: Mid-west transportation
Since there is a lot of traffic about transport services, any good leads
on a mover to go from Central Illinois to Northeastern Ohio area? Looking
to move my "B" back home. No hurry, most likely sometime in January or
February. Don't need a closed carrier or anything fancy, just reliable.

Folks:
Go on the web and you can get bids from a bunch of carriers. My K was sent
from Colorado to Massachusetts in an enclosed trailer with a Bentley
Arnage
and a Rolls Corniche Convert at a very aggressive price (and I did not ask
for enclosed transport, much less with $500K worth of other cars).
The driver thought the K (4 speed) was the most fun, BTW.

Subject: Re: auto transport
Good evening everybody!
Just thought I'd throw my $.02 worth in on the topic of auto shipping.
I've had occassion (but not recently, well acutally about 10 years ago)
to use good 'ol North American Van Lines as an enclosed auto shipper.
They shipped a Pantera for me from the east coast to Columbus, Ohio for
about $600.00. I was very pleased with the service and professionalism
of North American. They've also delivered a Charger Daytona to a
customer for me and delivered a Mangusta to my doorstep. On all three
occasions I was 100% content with the transaction.
I believe this is the link to them:

Subject: Speedometer gear correction
-
>Just took the C out on the freeway. Seems the speedometer is 10 MPH
fast(reads 80 really only going 70). Somewhere I have seen a chart with
the
different speedometer pinions that go with the different rear
ends(assuming
that is the problem). Can't find it any more. Anyone out there have this
information? I'm running 235X75X14 tires. I don't think this would be
the
problem.
Each tire size and each tire design will revolve a certain number of
revolutions in one mile. A speedometer, on the other end of the rear axle
gearing and the transmission speedo drive and driven gears, is looking for
1000 (lets use that number to agree with another post that may well know
what Chrysler std was in those days; my memory is that that standard
number
should be 1020 revolutions every mile). Speedo gears make this change.
The speedo cable in a car should therefore revolve an easy to measure 37
7/8
revolutions in a straight ahead measured 200 feet or half that in 100
feet.
If the number comes up short in number of revolutions, the pinion would
need
fewer teeth and so forth.
A speedometer shop can build ratio boxes to make corrections with the
above
collected data in hand. We just bought one for a truck and it cost us
about
$60. I have done this and it works not only in theory. The tires have to
be
correct and inflated properly and the odometer will change calibration as
the tires wear from the calibration point.
This revolution per mile calibration will help check and calibrate the
odometer. The speed registry will have to be checked and calibrated off
the
car on a test stand. My experience has been that my speedometers are way
off
after extended down time. This I would surmise is because of a number of
things in the speedometer head assembly but the magnet/speed cup
relationship is where I have felt the problem was centered. I had a real
talented fellow go through my C300 speedometer and it did work just fine
right after calibration only to change some after a long down time.

Subject: Re: Speedometer gear correction
Hi all,
Here's a website regarding tire size vs speedometer error (and lots more)-
the only downside is that only modern tire size designations can be input,
i.e. 235-75R14 is ok, but not 850x14 or H78-14 - you would need to convert
to an equivalent modern size. This site was particularly handy when I
converted from 15" to 16" wheels on my van, and determined a new tire size
that affected my speedo less than 1/2%.

Hello All, Just got back from a 400 mile trip, to drop off a 61 trunk
floor to be used as a template for reproduction. They should be ready by
mid January or so.The donor was from a 61 300G, so if know what it will
fit, here is the name of the person to contact. Bob McGee, 570 Deming Rd.
